Get my little camera, take a pretty picture

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] shrydar:

Instructions:
Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair - just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with the picture.

I did scale the photo down, I reckon that doesn't really count as editing :)

Not a great photo, since all I have to hand is a phone. And I've no idea how to use the auto-picture-taking thingy on it, so I had to hold it at arm's length.

My digital camera is currently pining for the fjords, and my lovely adjustable-everything SLR takes those funny old fashioned plastic things that mean you have to wait for weeks for the pictures.



If you look closely, you can even see the teeny-tiny [livejournal.com profile] shrydar in the picture :)

Yes, I know the headphones look bloody ridiculous. But they're comfy and sound great, and I don't have to look at me wearing them!

You are looking rather Tudor today!

[identity profile] venta.livejournal.com 2008-09-18 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
I hadn't thought of it like that!

I do have a face that was fashionable about 400 years ago, though, yes :)

You look as though you may be stifling a grin of some sort...

(Fortunately, I don't have any kind of camera in the house.)

'smy best Mona Lisa impression :)

I'm not very good at smiling for cameras. The smile always comes out as a smirk or a sneer or something not-quite-right.

My god! You are tudor!

Get away. You're just tugging my wimple.

Some things never go out of style though. :)

Ah yes you have a camera face too.
The photographers at our wedding must have despaired as there doesn't seem to be a single photo where one or the other of us wasn't pulling some unlikely expression.

There are very few photos of me where something weird isn't going on with my expression (just ask [livejournal.com profile] davefish :) Sometimes people tell me to stop pulling stupid faces, but I'm rarely doing it on purpose.

Yay! Teensy me!

And don't sweat the headphones -there was a similarly enormous pair next to me on the couch 24 hours earlier - I just tend to use the stereo instead if it's not too obtrusive.

Do you still have the bum warming hair?

[identity profile] venta.livejournal.com 2008-09-18 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed I do, it's just tied up at present.

Well, waist-warming, anyway. I've never quite made it to sit-on length.

Do you still have dashing shoulder-sweeping hair ?

[livejournal.com profile] kneeshooter has a really good one of you from Helens wedding.

Nah, these days I sport something resembling a bad crew cut.

If it's the one he sent me a week or so ago, I found it faintly terrifying :) That might be just me, though.
